From: Florian Westphal <fw@xxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== [ Upstream commit 55285bf09427c5abf43ee1d54e892f352092b1f1 ] Dmitry reports memleak with syskaller program. Problem is that connector bumps skb usecount but might not invoke callback. So move skb_get to where we invoke the callback.
